Ceramic components can meet tight tolerances via machining at the green-body stage or after firing to full density. In some cases no machining is needed when a near-net shaping, injection molding process delivers desired dimensions.

Ceramic components vary in size, shape and configuration, depending on material and processing. Methods can include semi-wet and dry compression molding and extrusion. Semi-wet allows for molding with removable inserts yielding external profile capabilities and holes in opposing direction without the need for secondary machining.
